they’ll be much more careful tho. unless a story feeds into a hot happening social movement. maybe the no-doubt growing poly movement among LGBTXYZAEIOU people….
Gotta watch them AEIOU people. Scary.
I have a few friends with children who attend or recently graduated UVA, and to a person all of them said at the beginning that the story was extremely difficult to believe. One of the main reasons was that the frat in question had a good reputation among women on campus and the men who populated it did not seem remotely capable of an assault of that nature.
In other words, I knew it was BS without even bothering to ask if it was BS. Pretty low bar for a fact checker, if you ask me.
Just like at Duke, these young men have resources that Rolling Stone cannot imagine, and just like at Duke, their mothers are PISSED. Heads on pikes are just the beginning. I am serious.
